Nol Serqua kept the momentum rolling for the Express just 34 seconds into the new frame when he scored off a feed from Abul Chowdhury to make it a 6-0 game. The Express focused on their defense from that point forward, keeping the Hawks off the board to complete the shutout.
 
Starting goalkeeper Fred Guillou made two saves without allowing a goal to pick up the win and improve to 2-0-1 on the year. Sergio Servin took over in the second half, stopping one shot without giving up a score. Rockland keeper Robert Dale made two saves but allowed six goals.
 
Diallo's two goals led the way for the Express in Tuesday's win. Guevara, Touray and Woobens Zamy each provided first-half goals, while Serqua potted one in the second half. Lora and Chowdhury each provided an assist in the victory.
